Chapter 3: Waiting for the Storm to End
The eternal winter has only been a few days but it already feels like forever. All you have been doing is staring out the window in your room, hoping to catch any sign of sunshine without the stormy clouds. Recollecting your thoughts of the day the queen ran away wasn't hard being the only time you saw someone so perfect. Most of what you remember was what happened majorly, like the Duke of Weselton almost dying, but trying to find the minor things was harder. Having all the time on your hands to think, it wouldn't be too bad. After a while everything in your memory was accounted for except for what the princess said to the queen, her name to be precise. You had to think harder to remember, but it finally came to you. Her name was Elsa, jeez even her name was perfect. That is what you rather call her anyway, easier to remember Elsa with a face than queen.
Elsa has passed in your mind every once in a while, you tried to stop thinking about her. I mean, you can't fall in love with someone when you just met them. All that time you were staring out into the void of white, you couldn't shake a thought in the back of your mind. You knew what that thought was too, Elsa.
Your parents took it into account too. They decided to let you figure out what was wrong and only see if you're okay. Of course staying in your room all day isn't normal, and they caught on from that, but your older now and know yourself better.
The first freeze was over from yesterday and seemed calmer today. Until a few moments ago everything was more tranquil and just like any other winter. Then from your window you saw something like a storm cloud swirling around the harbor. You are too far away in your home to see or know what is going on but you could guess it had something to do with Elsa. The thought of her back in the kingdom and nearer to you made your stomach drop again, there was that feeling that came the last time you saw her, the coronation.
Considering she has some kind of ice and snow powers made the now blizzard not really surprising. Being one of the many that actually saw what happened that day, you could put the storm and her together. Mystery surrounded your thoughts as to what was happening and you wanted to go out, but you wouldn't make it too far having a raging snow storm in your way. All you could do was wait it out and see your queen afterwards.
"Are you okay honey?" your mom asked from behind you.
"Yeah, I'm better. This snow storm is really raging huh?" you acknowledge. You know she was really talking about the storm, but you just wanted to talk about how you were doing a little. Which you could tell was better, it might have just been the time healed you a little, or that Elsa was closer.
"I hope it dies down soon, I don't want our house to get damaged." You can see that she's not trying to push the subject of your well-being, but she is more at ease seeing that you are not in the saddened state you were before.
From the time you pondered over your emotions, and talking to your mother, you ceased to see outside and what was happening. Only to look again when your room lightened from the sunlight.
By the time you got outside, the snow around the commons was gone. Summer was finally back.
